Disappointing film.
There are a number of interesting elements in the script. There are some great themes about punishment and morality. There is a nice occult infusion into a giallo story line. I also thought the special effects/gore were well done. Karin Schubert's death scene was particularly a highlight... a real standout in an otherwise unremarkable movie.
There is a lot wrong here. The dialogue is bad. The direction by William Rose is particularly bad. He takes excellent actors like Raf Vallone and gets really below average performances out of them. It's a crime.
In addition, the music was all wrong. It did not compliment the film, and I found it distracting.
Despite some of the potential, the film turned out more bad than good. At the end of the day, you can skip this one.
